I don't buy the whole "self-taught genius engineer who prefers to be a poor petty thief instead of actually working as a well-paid engineer" character. There better be a good explanation for this behavior.

There better be a good explanation for this behavior. The protagonist has a different work ethic.
I was discussing work with a friend in the context of Walkaway. That novel involves a post-scarcity economy. Folks would make different choices, if they weren't going to starve or freeze. Many might just choose to consume media during their waking hours (like Murderbot or Dennis 🙂), rather than do something they don't enjoy.
